Xiao Ningzi thought about it for a moment and understood what Nala meant, "Master wants to take the opportunity to invite Concubine Qin to meet Ping'er, but... I'm sorry to say that Concubine Qin may not bring her like last time."
Ping'er enters the palace together."
Nala shook his head and said: "Although I didn't pay much attention to Ping'er at that time, looking at Princess Qin's appearance, I should be quite satisfied with her service. There should be a high chance that I would bring Ping'er into the palace. If I didn't
, let’s find another way.”
"Yes, I will take care of it now." After Xiao Ningzi went down, Yingge said: "My dear, I heard that you were ill a few days ago. I wonder if you are feeling better now?"
Nala stroked the delicate embroidery on the palace fan and said in a dark voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me until my wish is achieved."
"That's the case, I'm relieved." After saying this, Yingge took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and carefully placed them on the table and said, "This is my filial piety to my mother-in-law."
Although Nala is in the palace and seems to have no shortage of money, there are still places where money is needed privately. For example, this time Xiao Ningzi was sent out of the palace to find a killer. So every once in a while, Yingge would bring tens of thousands of dollars with him.
Two silver coins were given to Nala in case of emergencies.
Nala glanced at the thick stack of banknotes and said, "Yang Yingxiong has been sentenced to exile by the emperor. The road to Zhengzhou is considered closed. Will it have any impact on the family?"
"There is indeed some impact, but it is not serious. Moreover, I have seen the new magistrate of Zhengzhou Prefecture drafted by the emperor and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he happens to be one of ours, so the road in Zhengzhou will be restored to its original state in a few months at most."
"That's good." Nala breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I will ask the palace servants to bring out some medicinal materials from the warehouse later, and you can take them to Amma. He is old and collapsed on the bed.
I can't move, my body is getting worse day by day, I must take more supplements."
Yingge quickly agreed: "I know that Amma will be very happy to know that the empress cares about him so much."
Nala said warmly: "What are you talking about? Although I am a queen, I am still Amma's daughter. I should be filial to him. When I am free, I will go to the mansion to see Amma.
The last time I saw Amma was more than a year ago."
After the palace servants prepared the medicinal materials, Yingge resigned and left. Shortly after he left, Xiao Ningzi also came back and said: "Master, Concubine Qin has agreed and will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
Nala shook her fan and said: "Well, when I have to talk to Concubine Qin later, Ping'er will be left to you. You know how to speak, but the most important thing is to see Ping'er first.
What kind of person is he, and only then can he take the right medicine."
Xiao Ningzi lowered his head and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter."
Early the next morning, Concubine Qin came to the palace as summoned. When she appeared in front of Nala, Nala secretly breathed a sigh of relief because she saw Ping'er next to Concubine Qin. She indeed brought Ping'er with her.
Coming.
Thinking like this, a dignified smile appeared on his face, and he said to Concubine Qin who had just stepped into the hall: "Concubine Qin came so early. I thought that Concubine Qin would come back later."
Concubine Qin smiled and said: "It's not hot yet, so it's just the right time to come here. Otherwise, if it's later, you'll be sweating even if you're sitting in the sedan chair. It won't be good if you bump into the Queen. I don't know if the Queen has summoned me to the palace."
What happened?"
Nala took the brocade box from Xiao Ningzi, opened it in front of Concubine Qin, and revealed the fragrant wood inlaid with golden blessing number beads bracelet and the agarwood carved Guanyin holding the scripture. He said softly: "I
I know that the concubine has always worshiped Buddha devoutly, so I want to give these two things to the concubine, and hope that the concubine will accept them."
Before entering the palace, Concubine Qin thought a lot, but she did not expect that Nala would give her a gift. She was very surprised. After she came to her senses, she repeatedly declined and said: "How can this be done? Please invite the empress."
Take it back."
Xiao Ningzi interjected from the side: "To Concubine Qin, ever since Prince Guo rescued Concubine Xi from Zhungar, the empress has been talking about thanking Prince Guo, but she can't think of how to thank her.
Later, when I saw these two things, I proposed to the empress that I should give these two things to you, Princess Qin, as a thank you to Prince Guo, and you must accept them, Princess Ruoqin."
Hearing that this was the case, Concubine Qin hesitated. Later, seeing that Nala was resolute, she had to say: "Thank you, Queen."
"The concubine is very polite." Nala handed the brocade box to the palace attendant and said, "Originally, this palace was supposed to send the things to the concubine. Unfortunately, it was not easy to get out of the palace, so I had to ask the concubine to come into the palace.
I would like to ask the concubine to forgive me."
"Your Majesty, please don't say such words. It's an honor for me to be summoned by Your Majesty." Saying this, Concubine Qin had some doubts in her heart. Although it was true that it would be difficult for Nala to leave the palace, she could still let her go.
When people send things to Prince Guojun's palace, there is absolutely no need for him to enter the palace.
"Taifei, sit down and talk." After personally helping Taifei Qin to sit down, Nala glanced at Ping'er who was standing aside, seemingly unintentionally, and said: "I remember the person who accompanied Taifei Qin into the palace last time.
It’s you too, your name is Ping’er, right?”
Ping'er was flattered and said: "Returning to your Majesty, this slave is none other than Ping'er. I didn't expect that your Majesty would still remember this slave."
"You are so handsome, how could I forget you?" After that, she looked at Ping'er carefully and said with a smile: "I don't know why, I feel like I'm in love with you when I look at you. Now that you're here today,
How about I give you a gift as well?"
Ping'er felt happy in her heart, but she said on her face: "I am a humble servant, how dare you accept the gift from your empress."
Nala smiled sympathetically and said to Concubine Qin: "Concubine, you are not only a handsome maid, but you are also good at talking. The more I see you, the more I like you."
Concubine Qin didn't know what Nala was planning, but she already regretted bringing Ping'er into the palace, so she said perfunctorily: "It is Ping'er's blessing to be liked by the empress."
Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Nala called Xiao Ningzi and said: "Take her to the tailoring place of the House of Internal Affairs to measure the size, and then make her a set of summer clothes. Consider it a gift from me.
"
Although it was just a summer dress, it still surprised Ping'er. Just as she was about to thank her, she remembered that Concubine Qin was her master. She quickly looked at Concubine Qin, and when she nodded, she knelt down and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your grace.
"
Ping'er's reaction was noticed by Nala, and she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go down with Xiao Ningzi."
"Yes." Ping'er responded and happily followed Xiao Ningzi to the House of Internal Affairs. After learning that it was the Queen's intention, Qian Moduo immediately arranged for a palace tailor to be made for him.
, and then took her to the warehouse dedicated to materials, and whispered: "The materials are all here. Miss Ping'er can pick them slowly by herself. Just choose which ones to give to our family. But you can't touch the ones inside.
